DOI: 10.1038/s41366-018-0237-4
Abstract: ObjectivesAdolescent extreme obesity is associated with somatic and psychiatric comorbidity, low quality of life, and social dysfunction. Nevertheless, few adolescents seek obesity treatment, thus many may elope appropriate care. We examine whether previous treatment seeking… read more here.
